Anywho, compared to other images recently, this is not as bright as, quess because of the selected signal you have chose to capture - with that said, your results show up very much betterra the low half of image where them bright spots of nebulosity patches are, & quite interestingly resolved which leave to ponder further on them !
Dig the colour palette also Mike, top show and grouse image

Well done.

I think a lot of people open an image, take a quick look, form a first visual impression and move on, that's it, which is fine of course, t'is a free World...but if you take the time to really look at an image there is often more that comes through. Apart from the pleasing level of details showing as a result of the better than average seeing on hand, what I am most pleased about with this image is that it very clearly shows the varied distribution of the three emission lines. Look around the image for a while and some complex variations become evident, you can see red (SII), Green (Ha) and Blue(OIII) mixing all over the image, there are nuanced OIII blues spread here and there with the Ha and OIII mixing to form a glowing turquoise colour in places, the SII and Ha mix in places to form a lovely mustard green, the Ibex jaw area is completely mixed with the three emissions forming an intricate mosaic of colours. Many other images of this nebula simply don't show this, so while they may look more pleasing to some eyes from an aesthetic stand point, they often don't show the full scene with these three emission lines
